LG Electronics Accelerates Circularity with Logistics and Supply Chain Progress
LG Electronics is embedding circular economy principles across its production, distribution, and disposal operations as part of its “Better Life for All” ESG strategy. The company has outlined progress and ambitious 2030 targets, with a particular focus on sustainable logistics, packaging, and material innovation.
